trying to install LyX on Mandriva 2005

[Ares]

Hello everyone,

I am a happy LyX user on Win but now I'm trying to move to GNU/Linux.

I downloaded lyx-1.4.4.tar.gz from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.4.tar.gz
extracted archive content
read install file
tried ./configure but I get the following message:

checking what frontend should be used for the GUI... none
configure: error: Please select a frontend using --with-frontend

Can anyone help me? (even though I know there's a lot of information
missing here about system etc)

Regards,
Diego

Follow the next step :

./configure --with-frontend=qt -with-pspell
make
checkinstall ( You must have this package installed )
When end, you shall have the rpm built, then
rpm -ivh lyx-1.4.4.i386.rpm for example

Also, instead of checkinstall you can use as root, make install

This problem is a problem of compilator. You must of updated of

bibliography styles

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello everybody,

I am a new user of the Lyx interface (and never used Latex at all). I 
found how to integrate a bibtex (jabref in my case) bibliography, but I 
can't find how to change the way it will be written. I talk about the 
bibliography himself, at the end of what I write (not the citation in 
the text). Now it writes everything that is in my bibtex file (including 
for example the abstract) in the bibliography. I would like to be able 
to define the fields that must be present in the bibliography in my pdf.


Can someone help me with this? (it is everything but an emergency so 
don't feel bad to not answer right now :) )


I take the opportunity to thank all the people invovled in the 
development of lyx: you give us all the opportunity to have a beautiful 
presentation of our documents without too much trouble!

Re: pdf being converted yo png

 Dear all,
 Would you believe that my pdf graphics (created with ipe) are being 
converted to
 png when I try to export to pdf(pdflatex) or to Latex(pdflatex). If I use 
eps,
 then LyX converts to pdf, but why is it not happy with pdf.

Maybe because it does not recognize that they are pdf. Michael Gerz had 
this problem with 1.5svn some time ago. In order to find out whether LyX 
recognizes the file format start lyx with the

-dbg files,graphics

commandline arguments and send the resulting console output. Since I don't 
use the windows version of LyX and lost track which wrapper prgrams are 
used I don't know how to do this, but maybe somebody else can explain 
that.

 Both LyX143 and LyX150 work fine for me in that case. They both 
recongnise the
 crop-box. LyX144 not only converts to png but it ignores the crop box and 
create
 a full page of png, which in the output pdf, spreads over two pages.

Ignoring the crop box results from the first error, so it will go away if 
that problem is solved.

Re: bibliography styles

[Maria Gouskova]

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

[Paul A. Rubin]

I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core processor), then
installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately
crashes.  I deleted the installation, downloaded 1.4.4.2 again and
reinstalled.  Same story.  Here's what Windows has to say about it:

AppName: lyxc.exeAppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.762Offset: 46b4

The crash occurs before the LyX GUI opens, and LyX's error message
contains no specifics.  Just for the halibut, I tried a different
version of msvcr80.dll, but that didn't help.  Neither did rebooting 
Windows.


For what it's worth (probably not much), Windows generated the following

LyX 1.4.4-2 (full) installer language problem on W2K and XP

[Tom Schlangen]

Hello,

the mentioned installer, released today (February, 19th) has a language problem:

Although the installer language correctly is identified as Deutsch and also 
Deutsch was selected for the LyX frontend language to be used, after 
installation the frontend shows up in English language. (1.4.4-1 did it right).

But the help texts (menu option help) are correctly installed in their German 
versions (as far as available), though.

This bug shows up even on a freshly installed XP box (no other LyX version 
previously installed).

By the way, besides chosing the frontend language during installation, is there 
any option / method to change the frontend language afterwards w/o 
re-installation?

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

Dear LyX users!

Does somebody aware of a way of opening the most recently edited file

If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?

Thank you.

Re: LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

[Tom Schlangen]

Hi Paul,


 I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core
 processor), then installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time
 I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately crashes.

Confirmed, but only for one out of two freshly installed XPpro boxes. The 
working one just shows the wrong frontend language as described in another 
article I posted, but besides this LyX seems to work as expected.

Both XP installations may be slightly different from each other due to a 
slightly different mix of few other programs installed before LyX.

Tom Schlangen

I have discovered that the same error also occurs when i go to tools  Tex 
information and do a
rescan. The problem occurs when there is no spaces in the directory too. and 
I'm not running from
a usb stick.


No, currently the path is 'E:/WSSCI/bibtex/wssci.bst'. This is a folder on a
USB drive.


Then please update you MiKteX-installation using MiKTeX's update wizard program (available in via 
Windows' start menu, requires an open internet connection). Run the update program twice if necessary.

Does it then work?

Re: LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

Hi Paul,



I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core
processor), then installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time
I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately crashes.


Confirmed, but only for one out of two freshly installed XPpro boxes. The 
working one just shows the wrong frontend language as described in another 
article I posted, but besides this LyX seems to work as expected.

Both XP installations may be slightly different from each other due to a 
slightly different mix of few other programs installed before LyX.



Yes, that's one of the joys of the Windows world -- the ability of apps 
to conflict with each other.  I don't think my AV program (Symantec) is 
the culprit, since the crash occurs even with real-time monitoring off, 
but I can't be sure, and I don't have the time just now to boot into a 
clean configuration to test LyX.


Well, 1.4.4.1 worked for me, so maybe I'll just wait for 1.4.4.3 and see 
if this only happens on even-numbered builds.  :-)

I think I found the bug: A missing python file. It should work when you copy the attached file to 
LyX's \bin\Lib folder and then restart LyX.


I'll release a new installer version tomorrow including this fix.

Record of phased-in incompatible language changes.

Each line is of the form:

FeatureName = _Feature( OptionalRelease , MandatoryRelease ,
  CompilerFlag )

where, normally, OptionalRelease  MandatoryRelease, and both are 5-tuples
of the same form as sys.version_info:

(PY_MAJOR_VERSION, # the 2 in 2.1.0a3; an int
 PY_MINOR_VERSION, # the 1; an int
 PY_MICRO_VERSION, # the 0; an int
 PY_RELEASE_LEVEL, # alpha, beta, candidate or final; string
 PY_RELEASE_SERIAL # the 3; an int
)

OptionalRelease records the first release in which

from __future__ import FeatureName

was accepted.

In the case of MandatoryReleases that have not yet occurred,
MandatoryRelease predicts the release in which the feature will become part
of the language.

Else MandatoryRelease records when the feature became part of the language;
in releases at or after that, modules no longer need

from __future__ import FeatureName

to use the feature in question, but may continue to use such imports.

MandatoryRelease may also be None, meaning that a planned feature got
dropped.

Instances of class _Feature have two corresponding methods,
.getOptionalRelease() and .getMandatoryRelease().

CompilerFlag is the (bitfield) flag that should be passed in the fourth
argument to the builtin function compile() to enable the feature in
dynamically compiled code.  This flag is stored in the .compiler_flag
attribute on _Future instances.  These values must match the appropriate
#defines of CO_xxx flags in Include/compile.h.

No feature line is ever to be deleted from this file.


all_feature_names = [
nested_scopes,
generators,
division,
absolute_import,
with_statement,
]

__all__ = [all_feature_names] + all_feature_names

# The CO_xxx symbols are defined here under the same names used by
# compile.h, so that an editor search will find them here.  However,
# they're not exported in __all__, because they don't really belong to
# this module.
CO_NESTED= 0x0010   # nested_scopes
CO_GENERATOR_ALLOWED = 0# generators (obsolete, was 0x1000)
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION   = 0x2000   # division
CO_FUTURE_ABSOLUTE_IMPORT = 0x4000 # perform absolute imports by default
CO_FUTURE_WITH_STATEMENT  = 0x8000   # with statement

class _Feature:
def __init__(self, optionalRelease, mandatoryRelease, compiler_flag):
self.optional = optionalRelease
self.mandatory = mandatoryRelease
self.compiler_flag = compiler_flag

def getOptionalRelease(self):
Return first release in which this feature was recognized.

This is a 5-tuple, of the same form as sys.version_info.


return self.optional

def getMandatoryRelease(self):
Return release in which this feature will become mandatory.

This is a 5-tuple, of the same form as sys.version_info, or, if
the feature was dropped, is None.


return self.mandatory

def __repr__(self):
return _Feature + repr((self.optional,
  self.mandatory,
  self.compiler_flag))

nested_scopes = _Feature((2, 1, 0, beta,  1),
 (2, 2, 0, alpha, 0),

Dear LyX users!

I don't think so.  'lyx -x menu-open file' will start LyX and open the 
file menu, after which pressing 't' and then '1' will load the most 
recent document, but I don't know a way to get LyX to recognize the 't' 
and '1' after opening the file menu.



If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?


http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ -- click on Show all open feature requests to

There's a ChangeLog file installed in the LyX Resources folder.

Re: LyX 1.4.4-2 (full) installer language problem on W2K and XP

[Uwe Stöhr]

Tom Schlangen schrieb:


the mentioned installer, released today (February, 19th) has a language problem:
Although the installer language correctly is identified as Deutsch and also 
Deutsch was selected for the LyX frontend language to be used, after installation the 
frontend shows up in English language. (1.4.4-1 did it right).
But the help texts (menu option help) are correctly installed in their German 
versions (as far as available), though.


I don't currently know why this happens, but it works fine with this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller


By the way, besides chosing the frontend language during installation, is there 
any option / method to change the frontend language afterwards w/o 
re-installation?


You have to go to the registry and change the value of the environment variable Lang to de_DE. 
In contrary the installer I mentioned above uses a file named lyx.bat to set LyX's menu language. 
You can easily change there the value of Lang.

That is incorrect. The official installer doesn't set any system 
environment variables, it has it's own registry setting for the language 
in Software\LyX14\Settings. To change it you can also run the installer 
again without reinstalling any files.


This crash/language problem is unrelated to the installer. It looks like 
the combination of updated libraries / C++ runtime somehow triggers a 
bug, possibly in gettext. I have not yet been able to reproduce it (it 
works fine on all my systems), so it may be difficult to debug. I'll try 
to find a solution.

Maybe because it does not recognize that they are pdf. Michael Gerz had 
this problem with 1.5svn some time ago. In order to find out whether LyX 
recognizes the file format start lyx with the

-dbg files,graphics

commandline arguments and send the resulting console output. Since I don't 
use the windows version of LyX and lost track which wrapper prgrams are 
used I don't know how to do this, but maybe somebody else can explain 
that.

 Both LyX143 and LyX150 work fine for me in that case. They both 
recongnise the
 crop-box. LyX144 not only converts to png but it ignores the crop box and 
create
 a full page of png, which in the output pdf, spreads over two pages.

Ignoring the crop box results from the first error, so it will go away if 
that problem is solved.

Re: bibliography styles

[Maria Gouskova]

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

[Paul A. Rubin]

I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core processor), then
installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately
crashes.  I deleted the installation, downloaded 1.4.4.2 again and
reinstalled.  Same story.  Here's what Windows has to say about it:

AppName: lyxc.exeAppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.762Offset: 46b4

The crash occurs before the LyX GUI opens, and LyX's error message
contains no specifics.  Just for the halibut, I tried a different
version of msvcr80.dll, but that didn't help.  Neither did rebooting 
Windows.


For what it's worth (probably not much), Windows generated the following

LyX 1.4.4-2 (full) installer language problem on W2K and XP

[Tom Schlangen]

Hello,

the mentioned installer, released today (February, 19th) has a language problem:

Although the installer language correctly is identified as Deutsch and also 
Deutsch was selected for the LyX frontend language to be used, after 
installation the frontend shows up in English language. (1.4.4-1 did it right).

But the help texts (menu option help) are correctly installed in their German 
versions (as far as available), though.

This bug shows up even on a freshly installed XP box (no other LyX version 
previously installed).

By the way, besides chosing the frontend language during installation, is there 
any option / method to change the frontend language afterwards w/o 
re-installation?

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

Opening last file for edit from the command line.

Dear LyX users!

Does somebody aware of a way of opening the most recently edited file
from the command line?

If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?

Thank you.

Re: LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

[Tom Schlangen]

Hi Paul,


 I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core
 processor), then installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time
 I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately crashes.

Confirmed, but only for one out of two freshly installed XPpro boxes. The 
working one just shows the wrong frontend language as described in another 
article I posted, but besides this LyX seems to work as expected.

Both XP installations may be slightly different from each other due to a 
slightly different mix of few other programs installed before LyX.

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

Re: problem with bibtex using LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4

[Uwe Stöhr]

I have discovered that the same error also occurs when i go to tools  Tex 
information and do a
rescan. The problem occurs when there is no spaces in the directory too. and 
I'm not running from
a usb stick.


No, currently the path is 'E:/WSSCI/bibtex/wssci.bst'. This is a folder on a
USB drive.


Then please update you MiKteX-installation using MiKTeX's update wizard program (available in via 
Windows' start menu, requires an open internet connection). Run the update program twice if necessary.

Does it then work?

Yes, that's one of the joys of the Windows world -- the ability of apps 
to conflict with each other.  I don't think my AV program (Symantec) is 
the culprit, since the crash occurs even with real-time monitoring off, 
but I can't be sure, and I don't have the time just now to boot into a 
clean configuration to test LyX.


Well, 1.4.4.1 worked for me, so maybe I'll just wait for 1.4.4.3 and see 
if this only happens on even-numbered builds.  :-)

I think I found the bug: A missing python file. It should work when you copy the attached file to 
LyX's \bin\Lib folder and then restart LyX.


I'll release a new installer version tomorrow including this fix.

Record of phased-in incompatible language changes.

Each line is of the form:

FeatureName = _Feature( OptionalRelease , MandatoryRelease ,
  CompilerFlag )

where, normally, OptionalRelease  MandatoryRelease, and both are 5-tuples
of the same form as sys.version_info:

(PY_MAJOR_VERSION, # the 2 in 2.1.0a3; an int
 PY_MINOR_VERSION, # the 1; an int
 PY_MICRO_VERSION, # the 0; an int
 PY_RELEASE_LEVEL, # alpha, beta, candidate or final; string
 PY_RELEASE_SERIAL # the 3; an int
)

OptionalRelease records the first release in which

from __future__ import FeatureName

was accepted.

In the case of MandatoryReleases that have not yet occurred,
MandatoryRelease predicts the release in which the feature will become part
of the language.

Else MandatoryRelease records when the feature became part of the language;
in releases at or after that, modules no longer need

from __future__ import FeatureName

to use the feature in question, but may continue to use such imports.

MandatoryRelease may also be None, meaning that a planned feature got
dropped.

Instances of class _Feature have two corresponding methods,
.getOptionalRelease() and .getMandatoryRelease().

CompilerFlag is the (bitfield) flag that should be passed in the fourth
argument to the builtin function compile() to enable the feature in
dynamically compiled code.  This flag is stored in the .compiler_flag
attribute on _Future instances.  These values must match the appropriate
#defines of CO_xxx flags in Include/compile.h.

No feature line is ever to be deleted from this file.


all_feature_names = [
nested_scopes,
generators,
division,
absolute_import,
with_statement,
]

__all__ = [all_feature_names] + all_feature_names

# The CO_xxx symbols are defined here under the same names used by
# compile.h, so that an editor search will find them here.  However,
# they're not exported in __all__, because they don't really belong to
# this module.
CO_NESTED= 0x0010   # nested_scopes
CO_GENERATOR_ALLOWED = 0# generators (obsolete, was 0x1000)
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION   = 0x2000   # division
CO_FUTURE_ABSOLUTE_IMPORT = 0x4000 # perform absolute imports by default
CO_FUTURE_WITH_STATEMENT  = 0x8000   # with statement

class _Feature:
def __init__(self, optionalRelease, mandatoryRelease, compiler_flag):
self.optional = optionalRelease
self.mandatory = mandatoryRelease
self.compiler_flag = compiler_flag

def getOptionalRelease(self):
Return first release in which this feature was recognized.

This is a 5-tuple, of the same form as sys.version_info.


return self.optional

def getMandatoryRelease(self):
Return release in which this feature will become mandatory.

This is a 5-tuple, of the same form as sys.version_info, or, if
the feature was dropped, is None.


return self.mandatory

def __repr__(self):
return _Feature + repr((self.optional,
  self.mandatory,
  self.compiler_flag))

nested_scopes = _Feature((2, 1, 0, beta,  1),
 (2, 2, 0, alpha, 0),
 CO_NESTED)

generators = _Feature((2, 2, 0, alpha, 1),
  (2, 3, 0, final, 0),
  CO_GENERATOR_ALLOWED)

division = _Feature((2, 2, 0, alpha, 2),
(3, 0, 0, alpha, 0),
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION)

absolute_import = _Feature((2, 5, 0, alpha, 1),
   (2, 7, 0, alpha, 0),
   CO_FUTURE_ABSOLUTE_IMPORT)

with_statement = _Feature((2, 5, 0, alpha, 1),
  (2, 6, 0, alpha, 0),
  CO_FUTURE_WITH_STATEMENT)

I don't think so.  'lyx -x menu-open file' will start LyX and open the 
file menu, after which pressing 't' and then '1' will load the most 
recent document, but I don't know a way to get LyX to recognize the 't' 
and '1' after opening the file menu.



If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?


http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ -- click on Show all open feature requests to 
see the wishlist.  I didn't see this listed there. 
http://www.lyx.org/devel/tasks.php show another wish list (which I'm 
sure overlaps the one in bugzilla quite a bit).


There's a ChangeLog file installed in the LyX Resources folder.

You have to go to the registry and change the value of the environment variable Lang to de_DE. 
In contrary the installer I mentioned above uses a file named lyx.bat to set LyX's menu language. 
You can easily change there the value of Lang.

That is incorrect. The official installer doesn't set any system 
environment variables, it has it's own registry setting for the language 
in Software\LyX14\Settings. To change it you can also run the installer 
again without reinstalling any files.


This crash/language problem is unrelated to the installer. It looks like 
the combination of updated libraries / C++ runtime somehow triggers a 
bug, possibly in gettext. I have not yet been able to reproduce it (it 
works fine on all my systems), so it may be difficult to debug. I'll try 
to find a solution.

Compile warnings for 1.4.4

I get similar warnings for most files compiled:

I'm using gcc-4.1.1, maybe that's the problem? Should I worry? I couldn't
find a description of the error on google.

Follow the next step :

./configure --with-frontend=qt -with-pspell
make
checkinstall ( You must have this package installed )
When end, you shall have the rpm built, then
rpm -ivh lyx-1.4.4.i386.rpm for example

Also, instead of checkinstall you can use as root, make install

bibliography styles

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello everybody,

I am a new user of the Lyx interface (and never used Latex at all). I 
found how to integrate a bibtex (jabref in my case) bibliography, but I 
can't find how to change the way it will be written. I talk about the 
bibliography himself, at the end of what I write (not the citation in 
the text). Now it writes everything that is in my bibtex file (including 
for example the abstract) in the bibliography. I would like to be able 
to define the fields that must be present in the bibliography in my pdf.


Can someone help me with this? (it is everything but an emergency so 
don't feel bad to not answer right now :) )


I take the opportunity to thank all the people invovled in the 
development of lyx: you give us all the opportunity to have a beautiful 
presentation of our documents without too much trouble!

No, currently the path is 'E:/WSSCI/bibtex/wssci.bst'. This is a folder on a

Re: bibliography styles

Well...

I have a degree in Applied Sciences, in Chemistry and I just began 
writing my PhD thesis with lyx. So I don't need a particular style, I 
only want to have the authors, the title, the journal with number and 
pages and the year. Here is an example of what I would like to have 
(with eventually some more formatting as for example the year in bold, 
the journal name in italic...):

Do I have to search on the internet for a style or is it possible to

Maybe because it does not recognize that they are pdf. Michael Gerz had 
this problem with 1.5svn some time ago. In order to find out whether LyX 
recognizes the file format start lyx with the

-dbg files,graphics

commandline arguments and send the resulting console output. Since I don't 
use the windows version of LyX and lost track which wrapper prgrams are 
used I don't know how to do this, but maybe somebody else can explain 
that.

Ignoring the crop box results from the first error, so it will go away if 
that problem is solved.

Re: bibliography styles

[Maria Gouskova]

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

LyX 1.4.4.2 crashes on Win XP

[Paul A. Rubin]

I had 1.4.4.1 running on my box (XP Pro SP2, dual core processor), then
installed 1.4.4.2 over it.  Each time I start 1.4.4.2, it immediately
crashes.  I deleted the installation, downloaded 1.4.4.2 again and
reinstalled.  Same story.  Here's what Windows has to say about it:

AppName: lyxc.exeAppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.762Offset: 46b4

The crash occurs before the LyX GUI opens, and LyX's error message
contains no specifics.  Just for the halibut, I tried a different
version of msvcr80.dll, but that didn't help.  Neither did rebooting 
Windows.


For what it's worth (probably not much), Windows generated the following

LyX 1.4.4-2 (full) installer language problem on W2K and XP

[Tom Schlangen]

Hello,

the mentioned installer, released today (February, 19th) has a language problem:

Although the installer language correctly is identified as "Deutsch" and also 
"Deutsch" was selected for the LyX frontend language to be used, after 
installation the frontend shows up in English language. (1.4.4-1 did it right).

But the help texts (menu option "help") are correctly installed in their German 
versions (as far as available), though.

This bug shows up even on a freshly installed XP box (no other LyX version 
previously installed).

By the way, besides chosing the frontend language during installation, is there 
any option / method to change the frontend language afterwards w/o 
re-installation?

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

Dear LyX users!

Does somebody aware of a way of opening the most recently edited file

If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?

Thank you.

Confirmed, but only for one out of two freshly installed XPpro boxes. The 
working one just shows the wrong frontend language as described in another 
article I posted, but besides this LyX seems to work as expected.

Both XP installations may be slightly different from each other due to a 
slightly different mix of few other programs installed before LyX.

No, currently the path is 'E:/WSSCI/bibtex/wssci.bst'. This is a folder on a

Then please update you MiKteX-installation using MiKTeX's update wizard program (available in via

Does it then work?

Yes, that's one of the joys of the Windows world -- the ability of apps 
to conflict with each other.  I don't think my AV program (Symantec) is 
the culprit, since the crash occurs even with real-time monitoring off, 
but I can't be sure, and I don't have the time just now to boot into a 
clean configuration to test LyX.


Well, 1.4.4.1 worked for me, so maybe I'll just wait for 1.4.4.3 and see 
if this only happens on even-numbered builds.  :-)

I think I found the bug: A missing python file. It should work when you copy the attached file to 
LyX's \bin\Lib folder and then restart LyX.


I'll release a new installer version tomorrow including this fix.

"""Record of phased-in incompatible language changes.

Each line is of the form:

FeatureName = "_Feature(" OptionalRelease "," MandatoryRelease ","
  CompilerFlag ")"

where, normally, OptionalRelease < MandatoryRelease, and both are 5-tuples
of the same form as sys.version_info:

(PY_MAJOR_VERSION, # the 2 in 2.1.0a3; an int
 PY_MINOR_VERSION, # the 1; an int
 PY_MICRO_VERSION, # the 0; an int
 PY_RELEASE_LEVEL, # "alpha", "beta", "candidate" or "final"; string

OptionalRelease records the first release in which

In the case of MandatoryReleases that have not yet occurred,
MandatoryRelease predicts the release in which the feature will become part
of the language.

Else MandatoryRelease records when the feature became part of the language;
in releases at or after that, modules no longer need

from __future__ import FeatureName

to use the feature in question, but may continue to use such imports.

MandatoryRelease may also be None, meaning that a planned feature got
dropped.

Instances of class _Feature have two corresponding methods,
.getOptionalRelease() and .getMandatoryRelease().

CompilerFlag is the (bitfield) flag that should be passed in the fourth
argument to the builtin function compile() to enable the feature in
dynamically compiled code.  This flag is stored in the .compiler_flag

Dear LyX users!

Does somebody aware of a way of opening the most recently edited file
from the command line?


I don't think so.  'lyx -x "menu-open file"' will start LyX and open the 
file menu, after which pressing 't' and then '1' will load the most 
recent document, but I don't know a way to get LyX to recognize the 't' 
and '1' after opening the file menu.



If there is no such command, may it be put on the wish-list (By the way,
is there a place to see the current wishlist and change-log)?


http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ -- click on "Show all open feature requests" to 
see the wishlist.  I didn't see this listed there. 
http://www.lyx.org/devel/tasks.php show another wish list (which I'm 
sure overlaps the one in bugzilla quite a bit).


There's a ChangeLog file installed in the LyX Resources folder.

Re: LyX 1.4.4-2 (full) installer language problem on W2K and XP

the mentioned installer, released today (February, 19th) has a language problem:
Although the installer language correctly is identified as "Deutsch" and also 
"Deutsch" was selected for the LyX frontend language to be used, after installation the 
frontend shows up in English language. (1.4.4-1 did it right).
But the help texts (menu option "help") are correctly installed in their German 
versions (as far as available), though.


I don't currently know why this happens, but it works fine with this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller


By the way, besides chosing the frontend language during installation, is there 
any option / method to change the frontend language afterwards w/o 
re-installation?


You have to go to the registry and change the value of the environment variable "Lang" to "de_DE". 
In contrary the installer I mentioned above uses a file named "lyx.bat" to set LyX's menu language. 
You can easily change there the value of "Lang".

That is incorrect. The official installer doesn't set any system 
environment variables, it has it's own registry setting for the language 
in Software\LyX14\Settings. To change it you can also run the installer 
again without reinstalling any files.


This crash/language problem is unrelated to the installer. It looks like 
the combination of updated libraries / C++ runtime somehow triggers a 
bug, possibly in gettext. I have not yet been able to reproduce it (it 
works fine on all my systems), so it may be difficult to debug. I'll try 
to find a solution.

Compile warnings for 1.4.4

[John Coppens]

I get similar warnings for most files compiled:

 g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -Winvalid-pch --include=./pch.h
-I./.. -I../../boost -I/usr/X11R6/include -fno-exceptions -O2 -MT kill.lo
-MD -MP -MF .deps/kill.Tpo -c kill.C  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/kill.o
cc1plus: warning: ././pch.h.gch: created and used with different settings
of -fpic

I'm using gcc-4.1.1, maybe that's the problem? Should I worry? I couldn't
find a description of the error on google.

Does this fix the math display problem at larger font sizes?

Not in 1.4.x, but upcoming 1.5.0 will have session support that reopens the 
last opened files on start, if you wish.
